I have a guy that wants me to bid on demo'ing a pool. It isn't a large pool but it has a jacuzzi built in and the thing is build solid. It looks like the sides are a foot thick and most likely reinforced with rebar. The jacuzzi will about have to be destroyed by the time I take 2 to 3 feet off the side. I'd be doing it with a bobcat 335 and renting a breaker. The guy is planning to eventually put a cement driveway over this area. I know you need to put holes in the bottom and take at least 2 feet off the top. When you put the holes in the bottom, you have the cut away the rebar as well, right? When you take off the sides, you use the hammer, scrape away concrete, use the saw to cut the rebar, then scrape away the rest of the concrete?
I included the skidsteer in the picture for perspective. The bush hog on the skid steer is 5 feet wide. The pool is about 10 feet wide, 9 feet in the deep end and maybe 25 feet long. The jacuzzi on the side is about 4.5 feet inside diameter and concrete on the sides connecting to the pool. I am trying to figure out what to bid on the project. I figure one load of gravel for the bottom, and 4 loads of fill dirt. I'd be renting a breaker, skidsteer compactor, and concrete saw to cut the rebar. If renting the equipment would cost $500ish and the rock and dirt $1000, any input on what is should bid for the rest?
